1 Answer

Answer :

Let C(x, y) be the centre of the circle passing through the points P(6, –6), Q(3, –7) and R(3, 3) Then, PC = QC = RC(Being radius of the same circle) PC2 = QC2 ⇒ (x – 6)2 + (y + 6)2 = (x – 3)2 + (y + 7)2 ⇒ x2 – 12x + 36 + y2 + 12y + 36 = x2 – 6x + 9 + y2 + 14y + 49 ⇒ –12x + 12y + 6x – 14y + 72 – 58 = 0 ⇒ – 6x – 2y + 14 = 0 ⇒ 3x + y –7 = 0          ...(i) Also, QC2 = RC2 ⇒ (x – 3)2 + (y + 7)2 = (x – 3)2 + (y – 3)2 ⇒ x2 – 6x + 9 + y2 + 14y + 49 = x2 – 6x + 9 + y2 – 6y + 9 ⇒ 14y + 6y = 9 – 49 ⇒ 20y = – 40 ⇒ y = –2             ...(ii) Putting y = –2 in (i), we get 3\(x\) + (–2) – 7 = 0 ⇒ 3\(x\) = 9 ⇒ \(x\) = 3 ∴ The centre is (3, –2).
